Tenderloin, San Francisco’s high-crime neighborhood, has been encouraging businesses to join their Safe Haven program to protect its citizens. The plan utilizes public space to promote safety. If there is conflict outside, citizens can enter any Safe Haven approved area for protection. These businesses or organizations are trained to decelerate conflicts without relying entirely on police—even though they arrive within minutes. These sites are indicated by a sign in the window or door of the 23 participating locations. The city is hoping that by the end of the year, 45 businesses and organizations will join the program.
